Default JEEP latest recall for WL is scary.....

Well its a great start for the WL, have the wheels really fell off Jeep ....

"The upper control arm retaining bolts may have been damaged during vehicle assembly. This may cause the wheels to detach from the vehicle while driving, resulting in a loss of control. "

The KJ's have a habit of lower control arm ball joint failure. It results in all sorts of problems. Basically, the wheel lays over or goes forward or back.

An earlier recall was for the lower control arm breaking, so how cheap can we make them

That recall sounds like assembly plant torque wrench setting too high.
